Phishing Check

Description

If your domain is listed on a phishing blacklist, it has probably been misused for [phishing purposes] and reported to the list operator.

Background

Criminals gain access to the website and deposit malicious code there. They copy known websites in order to obtain sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers and other personal data of the site visitors via these fake sites.

Consequence

Your website has probably already been abused by criminals.

Solution_Tips

If your domain was found in a phishing list:

Take the website offline!

It is possible for you to provide phishing content with the website and for criminals to collect personal information with it. It also prevents Google from removing your website from the index, which would cancel any positive ranking. This will also prevent your provider/host from blocking your website.

  • Find out how and when strangers were able to access your domain. Check your log files for unauthorized access from unknown source IP addresses. The time stamp of the manipulated or uploaded file could serve as the starting point for your search and give you an indication of the time of the attack and the so-called gateway.

  • Change your access data!

  • Web frontend (hosting contract, content management system)

  • FTP, SSH accesses

  • Database - use strong passwords

  • Import a malware-free backup! Delete all files on your webspace. This ensures that you do not take over any foreign files that the attackers use as "back doors" from the previously compromised environment. Before restoring, check whether your backup already contains the malicious code found by us and use an even older backup if necessary. If the backup is "malware-free", restore it and then update the system. Only then do you put the website online again.

  • If you do not have a backup of your website, consider a complete new installation. Manual cleanups usually take much more time and should only be carried out by qualified personnel.

  • Check your local computers for malware! On the website botfrei.de you will find help and programs. With the help of the DE-Cleaner you can clean your PC of different malware. (https://www.botfrei.de/de/eucleaner/index.html)

Consequence

When the page is accessed, there is a risk that the visitor's computer will be infected with malicious code.

Botnet Check

Description

Botnet refers to a number of devices that are connected via the Internet and on which at least one [[Bot]] is running.

Background

Malicious bots can be used to send e-mail spam or for DDoS attacks, among other things.

Consequence

A system integrated into a botnet can respond to remote commands from cybercriminals as soon as it is connected to the Internet. This allows the system to be used unnoticed for sending [[spam]], performing [[DDoS|DDoS attacks]] or [[phishing]]. A botnet maintains and expands itself by spreading the corresponding malware and thus infecting other computers.

Solution_Tips

Wenn Ihre Domain in einer Botnet-Liste gefunden wurde:

'''Nehmen Sie die Webseite offline!'''

Es ist möglich, dass Sie mit der Webseite Malware-Inhalte zur Verfügung stellen. Auch vermeiden Sie damit, dass Google Ihre Webseite aus dem Index nimmt, was ein eventuelles positives Ranking annullieren würde. So kommen Sie auch einer eventuellen Sperre Ihrer Webseite seitens Ihres Providers/Hosters zuvor.

  • Stellen Sie fest, wie und wann es Fremden möglich war, auf Ihre Domain zuzugreifen. Überprüfen Sie Ihre Logdateien auf unberechtigte Zugriffe von unbekannten Quell-IP-Adressen. Als Ausgangspunkt Ihrer Recherche könnte Ihnen der Zeitstempel der manipulierten, bzw. hochgeladenen Datei dienen und einen Hinweis auf den Zeitpunkt der Attacke und das sogenannte Einfallstor geben.

  • Ändern Sie Ihre Zugangsdaten!

  • Webfrontend (Hosting-Vertrag, Content-Management-System)

  • FTP-, SSH-Zugänge

  • Datenbank - starke Passwörter nutzen

  • Spielen Sie ein schadcodefreies Backup ein! Löschen Sie hierzu sämtliche Dateien auf Ihrem Webspace. Damit stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie keine Fremddateien, die den Angreifern als [[Backdoor|"Hintertüren"]] dienen aus der vormals kompromittierten Umgebung übernehmen. Überprüfen Sie vor der Wiederherstellung, ob Ihr Backup bereits den von uns gefundenen Schadcode beinhaltet und greifen Sie bei Bedarf auf eine noch ältere Sicherung zurück. Sollte das Backup "schadcodefrei" sein, stellen Sie dieses wieder her und führen danach die Updates im System durch. Erst dann stellen Sie die Webseite wieder online.

  • Sollten Sie keine Sicherung Ihres Internetauftrittes besitzen, ziehen Sie eine komplette Neuinstallation in Betracht. Manuelle Bereinigungen nehmen in der Regel sehr viel mehr Zeit in Anspruch und sollten nur von Fachpersonal durchgeführt werden.

  • Überprüfen Sie Ihre lokalen Rechner auf Schadsoftware! Unter der Webseite botfrei.de finden Sie dazu Hilfestellungen und Programme. Mit Hilfe des DE-Cleaners können Sie Ihren PC von verschiedenen Schadprogrammen säubern. (https://www.botfrei.de/de/eucleaner/index.html)
